Earlier versions of FileMaker (FileMaker Pro 8.5 and 9) have not been tested or certified with Windows 7. These products were developed and released before Windows 7 became available.

While these earlier versions may install and run on Windows 7, you may encounter installation and stability issues for which there is no resolution. FileMaker, Inc, strongly recommends that you use current FileMaker software.

Note: HearForm users have made no complaints to us regarding the use of FileMaker Pro 8.5 or 9 on Windows 7 machines.

FileMaker Pro has not been tested on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 64 bit Edition.

FileMaker, Inc. does not officially support the products listed on a 64-bit Windows platform.

FileMaker is a 32-bit application, and will only run on 64-bit machines in a 32-bit compatibility mode. FileMaker runs as a 32 bit app on a 64 bit machine, the same way the majority of app's still do on windows.

If you take a look at your task manager (ctrl + shift + esc) you might be surprised to see how many apps on your machine are running as 32 bit (including those from ).

We can’t speak for FileMaker, Inc., but we have many customers on Vista 64 and on Win7 64 without any issues.
